How trustworthy is your profession? Generally, front-line public service workers (including members of the armed forces, health professionals and the police) tend to be more trusted than not.

The gap between reality and perception is often massive. This is illustrated by a new survey carried out for the Royaumont Talks, whose theme this year was "Believing".
